I'm looking to get back into running after being away from it for a
while. I have a mild disk herniation in my lower back for
about 3 years now. I've been off the running since the injury
occurred. I've been getting aerobic exercise via my stair-climber, but
often long to just strap on a pair of shoes and hit the road.

Right about now I feel that maybe I could handle short runs (2 - 3
miles), using them as an alternative to the stair-climber maybe once
or twice a week. Shock absorption is the key for me to prevent
irritation to my lower back. Are there any shoes that are known to be
best for shock absorption? Also, anyone out there running successfully
with a known lower back disk herniation?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. email or post is ok by
me, but if you keep it to email, I'll post a summary.
